Notes & reviews

2:21 rain delay before start of game
Boston Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis left the game due to a tight right hamstring
Marco Scutaro missed the sign for the squeeze play
Jeff Francoeur ran towards 2B on the play, which had been signalled as a safety squeeze; Adrian Gonzalez came off the 1B bag and the bunt by Mike Aviles popped over Gonzalez' head
